been a week - once again - haven't touched bases with all of you - haven't had much positive info to share. now what was that our mothers always told us . . . .

a long frustrating week but i won't elaborate - much.

remember book reports and how we had to do them up in an "outline" format? ta-da!!

- our justice system sucks big time. it's no wonder that the country is imploding. if breaking a serious law over and over again incurs no substantial punishment, why would any self-respecting criminal go straight? unfortunately this situation - this time - is wa-a-a-a-a-a-a-y too close for comfort.

- still hassling with the foot issue - dragging around that monstrous, ugly, velcro laden brace really wears my butt out. if only it would cause weight loss. . . . doc visit tomorrow - let's keep a good thought.

- termites are devouring the posts and header on my back porch - bless their hungry little hearts. guess that one pregnant female roaming the neighborhood landed at my house.

- moving a bunch of stuff outside yesterday stirred up a nasty wasp. dropped the bed, hosed down the vine with wasp poision and fled the scene. here i sit with a hot, swollen, and still swelling arm tonite. and that was after i killed 2 black widows!! unlike honey bees, she's still alive circling for her next victim. the B!!

- brain fart last week resulted in not ordering celebrex in time. tomorrow it should arrive. almost a week without the wonder drug and hurting like hell. in this case, swelling and stiffness is not a good combination.

- got balled out by the mechanic for only having a quart of oil crusing thru the engine of my truck. after realizing the potential damage it could have done, i paid the bill, toweled off my forehead and slithered out of the shop. patting the dashboard all the way home, i whispered "good truck, mommy's sorry".

there was more. i know there was. but let's just say that memory has flown the coop at the moment. maybe that's the reason why when humans get old memory fades. it makes life easier to deal with . . .
